This. An average club player can do it. Of course the clean winner vs. Djokovic at this stage of the tournament and the match was special. But the shot itself is overrated. You don't need to be a genius to hit it.

They way it happened? so hard so fast and so low, you gotta be kidding me, average club players don't hit that shot.

Gasquet backhand-people are talking like it's the best in the world,but compares to Nole or Murray backhand is not even close to them.Del PO forehand maybe,after winning US open his forehand is not that hard and destructive but it is still among the best

Murray's backhand is hardly overrated. He can do almost anything with it. Its better than Gasquet's as far as I'm concerned

It is so true for Murray backhand,I am from Serbia and our commentator's are not even once mentioned how godd is Murray backhand,in reality is far best backhand of course with Djokovic.Gasquet backhand is average

Backhand is so overrated, most of the players on the men and women side go straight to the backhand, only a few players go to the forehand these days. I use to think the serve, but after watching alot of tennis its the backhand.

Plus i love forehands more

In a way, though, this emphasizes the importance of the shot in general. Most rallies in today's game are constructed around the backhand. Players often look to break down that shot or use it to open up the (righty) forehand or deuce side of the court. As such, its stability in today's game is made very important.

With guys like Djokovic and Murray showing up, players who are more concrete on both sides, we may begin to see a gradual change in the dynamics of the game, wherein differences between the two wings are mostly contextual.

Berdych forehand. Caused the top 4 trouble on a few occasions (Mainly Fed and Murray), but unless it's the perfect conditions for him, they can all cancel it out.

He didn't beat those players/caused them trouble due to his forehand, but rather his ability to generate power effortless with short compact swings and force them to be constantly on the defensive. Also his ability to return Federer's serve.
